Verse 2:

(One of a kind)   love affair is
When you hate to say girl, I told you so but you gotta go
There won't be a fight
'Cause you're love is right
But you're leaving wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

(One a kind   love affair is)
When you treat her nice but you finally have to pay the price
And though you know you're right, but you got to make
A little sacrifice
You make it for love, you make it for love

Makes a blind man talk about seein' again

(One of a kind   love affair is)
Makes me wanna be around you
Girl, I'm glad I found you

(One of a kind   love affair is)  I wanna tell you now
Every day is sunshine
Girl, you're on my mind

(One of a kind   love affair is)
Makes me wanna
Wanna be with you [fade]
